Building Layout - Dead End Lobby?

Postby jennifer7308 » Sun Jul 30, 2017 10:05 am

Got a little turned around by the lobby, thinking I could have a dead-end condition there, but after reading some other posts it seems like dead-ends only count exclusively in the corridor. Does anyone know?

Also, I'm confused about the windows. I get the 4'-6' width, but should I put more than 1 in bigger rooms that need a view (like the multipurpose room)? And for interior windows, I get the receptionist needs them so they can have visual security, but do they need to see just the entry door other space? Or should the other space have an interior window also (ex. Children's Room)?

Does anyone know? The program restricts dead-end corridors. There is no such thing as a dead-end lobby.

It's a test, not a design.And for interior windows, I get the receptionist needs them so they can have visual security, but do they need to see just the entry door other space? What?Or should the other space have an interior window also (ex. Children's Room)? Why would you do that?

Double doors are not in the program. Egress capacity does not matterl.
Avoid L-shaped rooms.
MP has only 1 exit. 2 are required. MAJOR life safety error.
Visual controls missing.
